House approves nearly $14.5 billion in military aid for Israel. Biden vows to veto the GOP approach

apnews.com

The House has approved a nearly $14.5 billion military aid package for Israel, but without humanitarian assistance for Gaza. The partisan approach by new Speaker Mike Johnson poses a direct challenge to Democrats and President Joe Biden.

America can’t build houses. America can’t fix roads, bridges, dams, pipes, or power grids. America can’t provide high quality education for students of all ages and stages. America can’t build libraries and parks. America can’t provide medical care to all citizens. America can’t provide childcare. America can’t support public arts or media. America can’t provide public transportation. American can’t feed the hungry. America can’t better the lives of its people.

America is powerless to do anything, other than expand the military industrial complex.

$14.5 billion is some COVID-19 level wealth extraction from working people. American oligarchs and plutocrats stole all our collective wealth yet again.
